This, in turn, becomes an issue in case of an emergency. Android phone users have also taken to Reddit as well to report the issue. However, the question that lies here is, why is the glitch occurring?

As per the Google Play Store reviews the carrier services app updated on November 23 update to version 50. Reports suggest that it is this app that is to be blamed. On the other hand, uninstalling the app can fix the problem but we suggest you do not do that without proper knowledge.
It is because the app enables the latest communications services and features in the Android Messages app. Moreover, deleting the app from your Android phone could cause some other problems for you.
